Experience one of the most distinctive and flavour-driven beef styles available with the Carnivore Society Rump Cap from Vintage Galician Beef. Produced by the Australian Vintage Beef Company, this exceptional beef is inspired by the famous Galician “old cow” beef of northern Spain, known for its intense flavour and unique eating experience.
The Vintage Beef program was created to replicate the rich, developed flavour of traditional European Vaca Vieja beef while using Australia’s world-class pasture systems. Unlike conventional beef, which is typically processed at 18–30 months, Vintage Beef cattle are at least 60 months old and often much older, allowing the meat to develop deeper flavour and natural marbling.
These cattle are 100% grass-fed and pasture-raised, with no added hormones under the Greenham “Never Ever” certification program. The result is beef with a clean grass-fed character but with far more depth and savoury complexity than typical young cattle. Because the animals are older, the meat develops a richer flavour profile and distinctive marbling that chefs and steak enthusiasts highly value.
The Cut — Rump Cap
The rump cap, widely known as picanha, is one of the most celebrated beef cuts for grilling and roasting. Cut from the top of the rump, it is easily recognised by its triangular shape and thick fat cap.
That fat cap plays an essential role during cooking. As it slowly renders, it bastes the meat beneath it, keeping the rump cap juicy while enhancing its natural flavour. When sliced correctly across the grain, rump cap delivers tender slices with bold beef character and beautifully crisp fat.
This cut has become legendary in Brazilian churrasco barbecue, where it is traditionally skewered, seasoned simply with coarse salt, and cooked over charcoal. The result is a perfect balance of crispy fat and juicy, flavourful beef.
Vintage Galician-Style Beef
The Vintage Beef Company is part of the Greenham family of premium beef brands, which also includes Cape Grim and Robbins Island Wagyu. Their Vintage Beef program focuses on producing beef from older breeding cattle, primarily British and European breeds, that have spent their lives grazing on pasture.
These animals typically average 8–9 years of age, far older than standard beef cattle. This extended life on pasture allows the beef to develop a distinctive flavour often described as rich, savoury and mineral-driven, similar to the traditional beef of Spain’s Basque and Galician regions.
The result is a unique style of Australian beef that delivers an exceptionally beefy, mature flavour profile prized by chefs and serious steak lovers.
